opening great dark beyond packs, i opened 4 golden packs and 6 normal packs and did not receive a legendary … is this bugged?? is there a hidden differential between golden and normal packs that was not there before?? did some policy change to screw us over again?? what is going on … afaik i should have gotten a golden legendary b/c i opened a gold pack on pack #10 … this is very fustrating
edit: fyi, i got my 1st legendary on pack #13, #9 of normal packs, so if there’s a separate counter for gold packs just to stop people from getting golden legendaries on the pity timer imo that’s pretty stupid and lame and ought to be changed back to the way it was
In Hearthstone, players are guaranteed to receive a Legendary card within the first 10 packs of a new expansion. However, this guarantee applies separately to each type of pack: normal packs and golden packs have independent pity timers. Therefore, opening a combination of 4 golden packs and 6 normal packs does not cumulatively count toward the 10-pack guarantee for either type. To trigger the guaranteed Legendary, you would need to open 10 normal packs or 10 golden packs individually.
This separation of pity timers between different pack types is a known aspect of Hearthstone’s pack-opening system. Each pack type maintains its own count toward pity timers, meaning that mixing pack types won’t combine their counts toward guaranteed drops.
if i open 10 normal packs and 10 golden packs should i see at least 1 normal and 1 golden legendary, or is it super lame and getting one cancels the pity timer on the other?
edit: and i’m pretty sure what you are saying was not always the case … either that or my use case was super lucky and i was able to open a golden due seemingly according to the pity timer of normal packs in the past … but it seems crazy to think i could do that multiple times and the pity timers not be intertwined at one point
should get 1 for each as they have there own pitty timers and this should apply to each set and their goldens so if you haven’t opened 10 PIP or 10 golden PIP could find a legendary(or golden legendary) within the first ten packs of those however after the first legendary they move to a 40 count timer not 10
you opened no packs in the early opening?
I believe golden/normal packs have separate timers.
nope … only after the expansion officially dropped in my timezone
It is better for f2p to open standard packs first, possibly waited to open any tGDB till after he opened all his standard
